Best Dry Shampoo
Why: This dry shampoo sets the bar for all others. The lightweight, transparent formula smells divine and comes in two color-enhancing shades (one for brunettes and one for blondes). Hair looks and feels freshly blown-out without any chalkiness.
Honorable Mention: L'Oréal Paris Advanced Hairstyle Blow Dry It LongWear Spray
Readers' Choice Winner: Batiste Dry Shampoo
Why: Yum! This smells amazing and really refreshes my hair when it's starting to get greasy. Also, unlike other dry shampoos I've used that always leave the white residue, this one doesn't. My favorite dry shampoo.
Honorable Mention: Suave Professionals Keratin Infusion Dry Shampoo

Best Hair Color
Why: This unique system takes the mixing -- and the mess -- out of coloring your hair at home. With a push of a button, the correct amount of color and activator crème comes out, resulting in an easy-to-apply mousse that gives hair shiny, vibrant color. The best part? You can reuse the system up to three times.
Honorable Mention: Clairol Professional Flare Permanent Cream Color
Readers' Choice Winner: L'Oréal Paris Excellence Creme
Why: Even my stylist was surprised at the condition of my hair after I used this dye. The product leaves my hair conditioned and soft, even healthier than before I dyed it.
Honorable Mention: Wella Color Charm Permanent Liquid Haircolor

Best Hairspray
Why: This medium-hold spray tames existing frizz and prevents additional frizz from popping up -- even on humid days. Plus, it keeps hairstyles in place without being crunchy (read: it has a touchable, brushable, flexible hold).
Honorable Mention: Matrix Style Link Perfect Style Fixer Finishing Hairspray
Readers' Choice Winner: Sexy Hair Big Sexy Hair What a Tease Backcomb In a Bottle
Why: This is amazing. It gives great volume and holds so well. I like to use this instead of actually teasing my hair. It saves a lot of time.
Honorable Mention: Moroccanoil Luminous Hairspray

Best Heat Styling Tool
Why: This tool is three curling irons in one, thanks to the interchangeable wands. Use the largest size for just-got-a-blowout waves and volume, the medium size for defined curls and the tapered wand for beachy waves. Each wand heats up ultra fast, and the rose gold and white color scheme is beyond gorgeous.
Honorable Mention: Paul Mitchell Neuro Style 1-Inch Styling Iron
Readers' Choice Winner: Conair Instant Heat Curling Iron
Why: I love to curl my hair, but I don't like to take too much time to do it. This curler heats up so fast, and it gives me the most perfect curls. With this tool, you can have great-looking hair at an affordable price.
Honorable Mention: Remington T-Studio Pearl Ceramic Professional Styling Wand

Best Leave-in Conditioner / Detangler
Why: This elixir leaves hair ridiculously soft and tangle-free, thanks to a blend of Australian fruit extracts (and, we're assuming, magic). Even the most tangled hair on our team became snag- and snarl-free. And the smell? Divine.
Honorable Mention: John Frieda Frizz Ease Beyond Smooth Frizz Immunity Primer
Readers' Choice Winner: It's a 10 Miracle Leave-In Product
Why: After a horrifying dye incident that left my already thin, breakage-prone hair dry and brittle, a hairstylist recommended this to me, and my hair has completely transformed. It's soft, silky and no longer feels like straw.
Honorable Mention: Aussie Hair Insurance Leave-In Conditioner
